For over 35 years, the Haunted Hayride at Arasapha Farm has been scaring its visitors with amazing props, digital FX, great actors, and extraordinary professional makeup. The Hayride has been featured several times on the Travel Channel and has been rated as the Number 1 Haunted Attraction in America by CNN Travel, USA Today, and many other national publications. It’s a 25-minute horror ride through the tall forest of Arasapha Farm, located just outside of Philadelphia, PA, and is filled with huge, detailed sets, giant monsters, and more pyrotechnics than a Kiss concert. With scenes like a 100-foot-long, 40-foot-tall drive-through insane asylum, a full scale mockup of a New England church, and a Massive Cavern filled with dinosaurs and flying demons, the Haunted Hayride is an amazing example of Hollywood-style sets and props. 
In 2025, we added several new, huge scenes that will blow away the competition! Imagine an entire Wild West town with 15 buildings and tons of animatronics, and an abandoned toxic waste dump that will blow you away. These jaw-dropping scenes are guaranteed to strike fear in the bravest of souls! Want more info? Take a look at our videos that were featured on the Travel Channel.

Bates Motel 2026 Dates and Times
One of my favorite haunted houses that I’ve ever been to. So much detail and work put into the attraction, can’t wait to be back next year. Best in Pennsylvania!
I came with my daughter and we had a great night. The hayride was full of detail in each scene and every attraction was done well from actors to scares. We had an amazing time and it’s totally worth your time to go.
